    Brilliant Firstly a huge thank you to Lisa for sorting.Would highly recommend going on the Buggy Safari, the views driving to Teide was breath taking. My husband loved the off roading along the way. Finished off with a lovely tapas and wine tasting.

    Top quality team. I would 100% recommend The team were professional and friendly and we felt like we were in safe hands. Everything was organised perfectly. We were picked up on time at the hotel by a friendly staff member and taken to the quads. We were given warm jackets and was explained everything in detail. I felt very safe on the drive which was a full 3 hours. I have to do a shout out to Rico who took us out on the quads. He was fun and really friendly giving us lots of local information. The views were just incredible. I highly recommend this company for the sunset drive. 5 star

    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.

    We wanted to see the dolphins but didn't know which boat to take as there are many options. Both Lea and Danny spent over 30 minutes with us answering our questions and listening to what we wanted to recommend the best option for us, they even checked the weather on the day of our trip to make sure that we would have a pleasant trip, and indeed it was. Thanks!

    A great afternoon out one the boat Weather was excellent, the skipper took us to the dolphins and whales. Unfortunately we only saw whales blowing spouts, We did see dolphins but not fully out of the water. I can't really blame the company for that. Afterwards we moored up and went for a little swim. Basic food and drink was supplied as part of the deal.Thanks for a good afternoon.
